Reason for Recall
The magnets can come off the tic tac toe game pieces, posing a choking hazard. In addition, when two or more magnets are swallowed, they can link together inside the intestines and clamp onto body tissues, causing intestinal obstructions, perforations, sepsis and death. Internal injury from magnets can pose serious lifelong health effects.
Action Taken
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tic tac toe game and return it to any Target store for a full refund.
